ラストが意外でした

The last one was surprising

This review contains spoilers. 戦時中のお話だし、儚げな雰囲気…「あ、これは絶対悲劇だ…」と思っていたので、結末かなり意外でした～

This review contains spoilers. It's a wartime story, and the atmosphere is ephemeral... I thought “Oh, this is definitely a tragedy...”, so the ending was pretty surprising ~

しっとり。

Moist.

きれいで柔らかい線の絵で、昭和の戦時中を生きる颯太朗と春臣がたんたんと描かれています。展開がちょっと急で心情が追い付いてかないところがありましたが、ふたりの長い間秘めた想いと、幼馴染みの関係性が素敵。

It is a picture with clean and soft lines, and it depicts Sotaro and Harutomi living during the Showa war. The development was a bit abrupt and there were places where feelings couldn't keep up, but the relationship between their long-hidden feelings and childhood friends is wonderful.

美しい作品

beautiful work

This review contains spoilers. 出会いと空白、再会、出征…そこが一番切なかった。紙面の関係上、後半の展開が早かったが、素敵な話と思った。女装は苦手だが、少し違うのかな。絡みが一応あったのは良かった。なくても納得できたけれど。絵が綺麗。多少のバランスの崩れはよしとして。他の作品も読みたいと思えた。

This review contains spoilers. The encounter and the gap, the reunion, the departure... that was the saddest part. Due to the paper, the second half unfolded quickly, but I thought it was a wonderful story. I'm not good at dressing as a woman, but I wonder if that's a little different. It was good that they were entangled for the time being. I was convinced without it, though. The picture is beautiful. A slight loss of balance is fine. I wanted to read other works as well.

Wartime stories

This review contains spoilers. 戦時中のお話しなので、もしや…！と思い覚悟して読みましたがハッピーエンドで安心しました…結ばれた時は感動…本編もいいですが、おまけのお話もほっこりするので好きです！

This review contains spoilers. I'm talking about wartime, so what if...! I was prepared to read it, but I was relieved with a happy ending... I was moved when it ended... the main story is good, but I also like the bonus story because it makes me feel relaxed!

美しい両片思い

Beautiful Unrequited Love

This review contains spoilers. かわいいっっっ！攻めも受けもかわいい！最初は二人のすれ違いが続きましたが、後半戦お互いの気持ちに気づきながら攻めが戦争に行かされてしまうシーンの時、私も受けと一緒に帰ってくるのか心配になりながら読みました笑読みやすくて良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. that's so cute! Both attacking and receiving are cute! At first, the two continued to pass each other by each other, but in the second half, when the attack was forced to go to war while noticing each other's feelings, I read it while worrying about whether they would come back with me lol I'm glad it was easy to read.

ん〜良かった〜?

huh... that was good?

昔から同性愛はあったのは存じておりましたが、このお話で心配だったのはアンハッピーエンドになってしまうのでは?と言う事でした?さてさてどちかだったかは、言わない方が良いのかどうなのか星を４つにした訳は、もーと長いお話しでも良かったな〜と思ったからです

I know homosexuality has existed for a long time, but what I was worried about in this story is that it will have an unhappy ending, isn't it? did you mean that? Well, it was either, the reason why I set 4 stars to 4 stars if it was better not to say it is because I thought it would have been a really long story

表紙が美しい

The cover is beautiful

This review contains spoilers. 表紙美しさに購入しました。あとずっと気になってました。ただ思ったよりはあっさり読めるかな。戦争を絡めるのであればもう少し肉付けしてほしかったです。

This review contains spoilers. I bought it because the cover was beautiful. I've been worried for a long time since then. However, I wonder if it's easier to read than I thought. If they were to get involved in a war, I would have liked them to be fleshed out a little more.

感動ストーリー！

An inspiring story!

This review contains spoilers. 作家さんの他の作品も好きで持っているので購入しました。戦時中のお話で、ロミジュリ的な要素もあり、今よりもっと立場や家柄等不自由な事が多い中で納得のハッピーエンドかなという感じです。絵がとても繊細で美しいので時代によくあっているなと思います。

This review contains spoilers. I like the artist's other works and I have them, so I bought them. It's a wartime story, and it also has Romijuri elements, and I feel like it's a satisfying happy ending in the midst of more inconveniences such as positions and family positions than now. The picture is very delicate and beautiful, so I think it fits the times very well.

しっとり大人の恋

Moist adult love

This review contains spoilers. タイトルが素敵なしっとり落ち着いた大人のストーリー。受けの春臣が舞う姿と耐え忍ぶ姿は花のように美しかった。戦時中の昭和が舞台だったので、攻めの颯太朗は、今までの作者様の作品の中で、一番硬派なタイプだったと思う。婚約が破談になって、戦争に行く前にようやく結ばれたふたり。戦争がきっかけであったが、ずっと好き合っていたふたりが結ばれて本当によかった。再会後の静かなエッチが尊かった。本編では、少し重苦しい雰囲気が続いたので、描き下ろしのコメディタッチのお話に気持ちがほぐれた。ここでタヌキの伏線を回収するとは、遊び心を忘れない作者様のセンスが好き。4.4

This review contains spoilers. A moist and calm adult story with a nice title. The sight of Kakenoharuomi dancing and enduring was as beautiful as a flower. Since it was set in the wartime Showa era, I think the attacking Sotaro was the toughest type of work by the artist up until now. Their engagement was broken up, and the two finally tied the knot before going to war. The war triggered it, but I'm really glad that the two, who have always liked each other, were brought together. The quiet sex after the reunion was precious. The main story continued to have a slightly heavy atmosphere, so I was relieved by the comedic story drawn down. I like the artist's sense of not forgetting his sense of fun when it comes to collecting Tanuki's foreshadowing here. 4.4

美しくて切ないわ～?

it's beautiful and sad, isn't it?

昭和２０年、戦時中のお話。幼馴染の二人は幼いころに些細なすれ違いで口をきかなくなってしまった。踊り手の春と、御曹司の颯太朗。踊り手の春さんの清い美しさ、秘めた想いの切なさは昭和の時代という事もあって派手さのないものですが、そこが慎ましくていいです。淑やかというのか。颯太朗さんはどこまでもお坊ちゃまだけれどもお坊ちゃま特有の只々真っすぐに純粋に春さんを想ってしまう。相手春さんだもの忘れられないですよ。時代物ってノスタルジックで素敵ですよね。言葉遣いとか、服装とか。スーツ着てても現代のリーマンとは違う着こなしで、上等な生地だろう感で空気が変わります。最後の恩返しファンタジーも可愛かった～(^.^)

This is a wartime story from Showa 20. My two childhood friends stopped talking due to a trivial misunderstanding when they were young. Haru, a dancer, and Sotaro, a sousin. The dancer Haru's pure beauty and hidden sadness are not flashy, partly because of the Showa era, but it's nice to be modest about that. do you call it gracious? Sotaro has always been a monk, yet he thinks directly and genuinely about Haru-san, which is unique to monks. I'll never forget my opponent Haru. Period items are nostalgic and wonderful, aren't they? Language, clothing, etc. Even when wearing a suit, it looks different from today's Lehman, and the air changes with the feeling that it's probably a fine fabric. The last fantasy of returning the favor was cute too~ (^.^)

よかった

That was great

こういう時代ならではの環境のためのせつなさがあったり…。とてもよかったですが、よかっただけに最後の方がちょっと駆け足っぽく感じてしまったのがもったいなかったなぁと。2巻に渡ってもう少しじっくり読みたかったなという気持ちです。

There is a sense of urgency for the environment unique to this kind of era... It was so good, but it was a waste that the last one felt a bit rushed. I feel like I wanted to read it a little more carefully over 2 volumes.

間違ってたらごめんなさい

I'm sorry if I made a mistake

This review contains spoilers. 自分が戦時中の時系列が無知すぎてわかってなくて。知った方が理解できる気がしてちょこっとだけ調べてみました。昭和16年12月に太平洋戦争ぼっ発この年に二人は再開してる。それでお団子食べたりお座敷で踊り子さんもお仕事できたりそういう余裕がまだあったんだなって納得。そこから徐々に戦争の影響が色濃くなって行く。颯太朗は軍の仕事を請け負ったり、沢村の娘との縁談で徴兵も免れるそういう選択肢が出てくる。そんな状況だから二人は本当の気持ちを言わない。春は颯太朗の為だけに踊れたらいいって思ってる所が切ない。昭和19年11月本土への攻撃も激化していく。その最中で婚約を破談にした颯太朗に赤紙が届く。終戦が昭和20年８月で届いたのが5月。ほんとに終戦の手前だったんですね。終戦になり引き揚げにどれだけの年月がかかったのかはわからないけど、待っている春は颯太朗が生きているか死んでいるかわからないで待つしか出来ない状況って想像を絶する…時代に翻弄される二人をうまく描かれていて絵も綺麗なので素敵だったんですが、だからこそ最後の再開だけ駆け足な気がしてもったいないなって思ってしまいました。

This review contains spoilers. I was so ignorant about the wartime time series that I didn't understand. I felt like those who knew would understand it, so I just did a little research. The Pacific War broke out in Showa 16/12, and the two resumed this year. So I was convinced that there was still room to eat dumplings and the dancers were able to work in the parlor. From there, the effects of the war gradually became more intense. Sotaro undertakes military work, and options such as being exempt from conscription due to a marriage with Sawamura's daughter come up. Because of this situation, they don't say their true feelings. It's sad that I think it would be nice if I could dance just for Sotaro in the spring. Attacks on the mainland also intensified in Showa 19/11. In the midst of that, red paper arrives for Sotaro, who broke up his engagement. The end of the war arrived in August Showa 20 in May. It was really close to the end of the war, wasn't it? I don't know how many years it took to be salvaged since the war ended, but in the spring I'm waiting for, it's unimaginable to imagine a situation where you can only wait without knowing whether Sotaro is alive or dead... The two people at the mercy of the times were well depicted, and the pictures were beautiful, so it was wonderful, but that's why I felt like it would be a waste to rush only to resume the final one.

昭和初期のすれ違いボーイズラブ

Early Showa Boys Love

昭和初期、戦争も絡んできます。幼馴染のふたり。お坊ちゃんと踊りの名家の子なのかな？どちらも育ちは良さげで身分差とかはなし。かなりロースピードで進んでいて，戦争が深くふたりともの人生に関わってきます。想いを伝えあったりが急な気がしたので、今までのじれじれが嘘のようでちょっと拍子抜け。まあ、生死がかかった場面で悔いのないようにってこととは思いますが…。昭和BLですが、同性愛に対する周りの批判とかはほとんど描かれてないので、ふたりの心のすれ違いのみで進行します。きれいなBLといった感じでした。

In the early Showa period, wars were also involved. Two childhood friends. I wonder if he's a kid from a famous monk and a dancer? They both grew up well, and there is no difference in status. It's progressing at a pretty low speed, and the war is deeply involved in the lives of both of them. I felt like they were suddenly communicating my feelings to each other, so it seemed like everything up until now was a lie, and I was a bit out of touch. Well, I think that means there are no regrets in a scene where life or death is at stake... It's Showa BL, but since there are almost no criticisms of those around them about homosexuality, it progresses only due to the passing of their hearts. It felt like a beautiful BL.

戦争時代を生きる

Living in an age of war

想いのまま生きられない時代の中で、自分の想いとどう折り合いをつけていくのか。葛藤の渦中の2人の愛に感動しました。戦争後の再開がもう少しグッとくるものが欲しかった気もしますが、必見です。

How do you come to terms with your own feelings in an age where you can't live with your feelings? I was moved by the love between the two in the midst of conflict. I also feel like I wanted something that would be a little more convenient to resume after the war, but it's a must-see.

キレイ過ぎる

It's too pretty

綺麗な絵とキレイにまとまったお話、というかまとまり過ぎて盛り上がりが足りないかなあ。戦中という感じも時代故の苦しみもあまり感じられずに淡々と話が進みました。描き下ろしは雰囲気が変わって楽しめました。

I wonder if the story is beautifully organized with beautiful pictures, or rather, it's too organized and doesn't have enough excitement. The conversation progressed calmly without feeling much of the feeling of being in war or suffering due to the times. The atmosphere of drawing changed and I was able to enjoy it.
